Improves performance by keeping muscles at the peak of their flexibility and strength.
Reduces stiffness and muscle soreness.
During training, a large amount of stress is placed on the tendons and ligaments, sometimes stretching them too far and causing tears to the muscle fibres. This causes fluid to accumulate and creates soreness and stiffness.
Sports massage stimulates circulation and loosen muscle fibres. Lymph circulation is improved, which helps remove toxins and lactic acid and also lubricates the muscle, decreasing friction.
Where there has been an injury, sports massage can speed injury and ensure scar tissue is soft and pliable in order to allow the muscle fibres to work effectively.
How often to have a sports massage
If you are training for an event, such as a marathon, a weekly or fortnightly 30 minute massage can help maintain peak performance. If you are not in training, a massage every 4 to 6 weeks is advisable.

Myofascial Release
Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, including each muscle fibre, down to a cellular level. Think of fascia as a 3D web that spreads throughout the body from head to foot without interruption. Any malfunction due to trauma, poor posture, scar tissue or inflammation can cause a hardening in the fascia or a stickiness between muscle fibres.
Myofascial release is a remedial technique that warms and stretches the fascia in order to realign and remove adhesions between the muscle fibres. This is a very effective technique that can help relieve tight muscles, pain and stiffness.
How often to have remedial massage
If you are recovering from an injury, a weekly massage may help speed your recovery time.
If you have been suffering from chronic muscle pain for some time, you may benefit from a course of remedial massage either once a week or every two weeks.
If you have some stiffness and pain which has only recently developed, one appointment may be enough to improve flexibility and relieve pain.
